INTO THE WORD
Greeting
P The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
C And also with you.
5
Psalm 104:24‐34, 35b The congregation reads responsively.
P How manifold are your works, O Lord!
In wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
C Yonder is the sea, great and wide,
with its swarms too many to number,
living things both small and great.
P There go the ships to and fro and Leviathan,
which you made for the sport of it.
C All of them look to you to give them their food in due season.
P You give it to them; they gather it;
you open your hand, and they are filled with good things.
C When you hide your face, they are terrified;
when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
P You send forth your Spirit, and they are created;
and so you renew the face of the earth.
C May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
O Lord, rejoice in all your works.
P You look at the earth and it trembles;
you touch the mountains and they smoke.
C I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will praise my God while I have my being.
P May these words of mine please God. I will rejoice in the Lord.
C Bless the Lord, O my soul. Hallelujah! After the Reading, the People say, Thanks Be to God.

Nicene Creed
C We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary
and became truly human.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Communion
At Preston Meadow Lutheran, our communion table is “open.” That means that you don’t have
to be a member of PMLC to commune, or even a Lutheran. We welcome children of all ages to this
favorite meal of the church because we know that we come at Jesus’ invitation to receive his free
gift of grace. Parents, if your children are not yet communing, encourage them to fold their arms
over their chests to receive a blessing. If you are communing, simply open your hands and bread
will be given to you. Cups with white grape juice are located in the center of the trays; gluten‐free
wafers are available on request. Come and enjoy the free gifts of God!

making us one with all your people.
Now send us forth in the power of your Spirit,
that we may proclaim your redeeming love to the world
and continue forever in the risen life of Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
Please stand.
Table Blessing

his grace.
